Vicente Blasco Ibañez

Vicente Blasco Ibáñez was one of the great Spanish novelists of the late nineteenth century and first third of the twentieth. Among his extensive literary production his traveling work deserves a prominent place. In 1923 he began a journey that led to his return to the world of a novelist, an extensive account in three volumes from which his tour of Japan is extracted here. A lucid and entertaining text that masterfully portrays the complex Japanese civilization.
